My transfer process from the dreary and jaded feeling halls of my High-School to Isothermal Community College was drastic. Rutherford - Spindale Central High made me feel trapped and like none of my choices mattered in the slightest bit. When I finally graduated I knew my life would change and it has quite a bit. I make my own decisions and I am responsible for important things, such as my education and grades. I am thankful for the freedom that my college life gives me as well as the responsibility. I’ve realized that the work in class and outside of class is both challenging and plentiful, especially in Biology111 and my DMA Maths. Its quite difference from high school, where maybe I’d have to turn in something once a week. I had free food and transportation which is something I’ve completely over looked all of these years and even with these useful objects I had, I really didn 't learn much. I know a bit about the holocaust, because it was taught each year in English class, but we did very minimal writing and of course we sometimes had journals but they weren 't grammatically correct. History was like we had to live the same day over and over again just to pass a weekly quiz. I had to scribble so many words on a piece of paper that it soon turned into art class. Actually a lot of my classes turned into art class and I got pretty good at drawing. From my transfer process I learned about how severely responsible I am for my education and for my future. I am learning
Fear and anxiety plagued my mind during this transition, however my wife and daughter kept my mind at ease. The information and instruction that was provided from the Professors at Durham Tech galvanized something deep within me. I began to strive for goals that I thought were unattainable as a naïve adolescent. Instructors encouraged me to work hard and to be persistent when it came to the immense obstacles of my course work such as giving a presentation at an honors symposium as an honors student. After countless years of self doubt and negative feelings towards education as a whole, for the first time in my life, I felt like college was an option for
Transitioning from a community college or a high-school to CU may seem overwhelming and intimidating in the beginning. It is because the admission process looks overwhelming, the cost the education seems intimidating, and responsibilities feel unclear. Transitioning to CU is, indeed, challenging. However, there are series of steps to be taken to ease the process of getting enrolled in CU. While self-motivation is the key to the successful transition, the overwhelming could be settled by making a things-to-do list, the intimidation of the cost could be overcome by talking to financial advisors, and unclear responsibilities could be elucidated by talking to academic advisors, students, family, and friends.
Countless numbers of college freshman transfer out after their first year of studies. Many return, some don't. Unfortunately, many of these students felt displaced and found that their expectations were not met by the university they attended. Attending community school gives students the opportunity to earn college credit while taking the time to select the 4-year institution that is right for them. Because there is little financial investment, most students
When a student enters college, it can cause a change in outlook on their school work due to the differences from what they have become accustomed to in earlier schooling. Some student may view the work as easier, while others may realize that the further one educated themselves, the more difficult the classes and the work involved becomes. Amy Fox 's English class is difficult because students must become accustomed to using Blackboard, develop organization in time management, and cope with possible financial strain.
I knew college was going to change me in many ways. Yet, after my family and I restructured our collective and individual emotional reactivity over the three years that I was away at school, I believed my work in that department was done. I thought transiting into college was difficult, however, I found myself once again unprepared for the aftershock that rocked my family once I return from school. I left college a strong, independent, mature, and differentiated person, or at least I kind of did.
Entering into college can be a hassle for many students if they are not mentally prepared for what is forthcoming. The transition from high school to college was quite easy for me. Coming in I thought I was going to have a though time doing well in school. However, I have done well thus far by changing the procrastinating habits I used have and staying on top of deadlines. As with any school there are some things I like and dislike. I grew up around many people who attended Alabama A&M their stories influenced me to come here. I love my university I hate there is no school spirit amongst the current students. On top of my list of likes is
The transition from high school to college is a dynamic time in one’s life that parallels the change from childhood to adulthood. Both of these changes are dramatic and, as a result, feelings are difficult to put down into words. A messy combination of emotions fills the heart, surfacing in strange ways. Confident high school seniors go right back to the bottom of the chain when entering college as freshmen. These students start all over, just like entering grade school or high school for the first time. The move up from high school to college signals the switch from dependence to self-sufficiency. From a personal point of view, going through the experience of graduating high school and transferring to a residential college campus at STLCOP, made me realize I was no longer a kid and capable of making my own decisions.
My schedule began to fill up, three times a week physical therapy, peritoneal dialysis check ups, in and out hospital stays at Lima Memorial hospital and The Ohio State University –Rhodes, seven times to be exact in 2014. I couldn’t tell you exactly what was going on in school, but I went to labs on Fridays for chemistry because they were mandatory and obviously test days, but it did me no help, what I really needed was to attend all of the classes to get the education I deserved. Latin American History was much easier for me to keep up with because I had a friend from work in that class and I was able to use her notes she took in class for exams and that is how I was able to pass that class. As well as there was no homework in that class that I remember.
My acceptance into Mayfield, brought on a change that has truly enhanced my life for the better. After getting into Mayfield, I was finally able to appreciate the ambitious, spontaneous and fun-loving girl that is myself and I was able to finally value friendship as something that should always be cherished. With this change, I finally became the person I’d always had the potential of becoming. Although change is never anticipated, it can have a large effect on
Not being able to comprehend college work at a high school level, and must know the basics before moving onto a college course, and could be stressful. Although this is true it is preparing you for the real world by teaching you how to fend for yourself, and in experiences, it’s helping further someone's career and pushes students to do better. While some believe taking these classes lead to rushing into everything leading to pressure, and some courses take away from teachers. But everyone must learn to overcome these issues by pacing yourself and learning how to work through the pressure by working smarter, not
The sound of pages flipping and pen's clicking filled the classroom like if it were a symphony, wow! I cannot believe I'm back in school again. Who would have ever thought that I would make an effort to continue my education, since I was very much satisfied with the life I had beforehand. I worked a full time job, making good money compared to my peers at school and I had freedom. Now I'm sitting in a classroom for several hours busting my brain once again and I'm not getting paid for it. As I'm studying for a test, I asked myself, "Is this really worth it?"
Many high school students succeed with a little leniency through their four years. The transfer from high school to college becomes overwhelming and a struggle for some. For students do not comprehend the importance of changing more than their location during the transition. A student must be psychologically, physically, and emotionally mature to pursue college and not venture into a point of no return. Dropping out of college makes the outlook of the conversion difficult to acquire. Individuals should take their time on deciding which college and/or university is the best match for them. There are various reasons that cause persons not to prosper. Issues that individuals may come upon might leave a lifelong scar. Matters such as these
Attention material: Last weekend I read and annotated 4 chapters of To Kill a Mockingbird, finished and submitted a speech outline, completed 2 pages of German homework, submitted orchestra tests, read 12 pages and did 4 AP statistics problems, took notes on 3 chapters and planned for 3 AP US History essays, and did 21 AP Chemistry problems. What did I learn from this? Mostly that I'm taking a lot of different classes, I know the material really well already, and that if you write in messy handwriting the work goes faster. Why is this a problem? Because I should be learning more, and my success in high school should not have to be based on several hours of working alone on a Saturday.
The one thing I seem to have learned from school is that we keep getting harder work every year. Countless subjects are forced into our skulls
All the work at school was menial and dull, worksheets after worksheets of mindless rinse and repeat lessons. Read the chapter, answer the questions, see you tomorrow. Maybe in English they’d have something a little more challenging, but not by much. Even learning a foreign language could be distilled to worksheets and textbooks.
